Retinal Degeneration in Choroideremia follows an Exponential Decay Function
23 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
Fundus autofluorescence (AF) arises from lipofuscin, which is derived from retinoid byproducts of the visual cycle and accumulates within retinal pigment epithelial cells. Alterations in AF pattern are seen in a wide range of retinal degenerations.
